Enchantment of Bandung from the Top Elevation

See the sights of a city from the hills and mountains are always promising charm. Bandung one of them. The town has a landscape caldera (crater large) rest of the Sunda Mountain is one area which presents a beautiful sight when seen from the heights. 

"Bandung dilingkung gunung." The phrase seemed familiar, especially for Tatar Parahyangan  community. The phrase describes the condition of the Bandung basin surrounded by mountains. For example in the North there is Tangkuban Parahu, Burangrang Tunggul Hill, in the South there is Patuha, Malabar, in the East there is Manglayang, and on the limestone hills of the West there Padalarang - Rajamandala. In such conditions the city's development is like a glimpse inside a giant bowl. 

Many locations can we choose if you want to enjoy the view of Bandung from the top level. Some places I could take pictures. Bojong koneng first is located in Upper East region Bandung, as shown in the picture above. The place is not far from this powder magazine can be taken through the access in from Jl. Cikutra. 

The second location is Punclut. The place is always crowded on weekends by people who intend to hike this could be your choice to enjoy the charm of the city of Bandung. The picture above I took in the Punclut region, namely the direction of Lembang. To reach these locations you can use the access in from Jl. Ciumbuleuit. 


The third location is Mekarwangi. Being an alternative route Bandung - Lembang, Mekarwangi I think is one of the promising view of Bandung city is best if viewed from above ketingggian. One other advantage of this location is the cool weather and beautiful scenery around it consisting of valleys and hills. To access this area you can go through the route Jl. Dago - Hydropower crooked - Buniwangi - Mekarwangi. Or just in from the direction of Lembang - Mekarwangi. 

In addition to these three places would still be a lot more places to choose from, and perhaps promising more beautiful charm. Formerly, Dago Teahouse or now called the West Java Cultural Park became one of the most strategic places in my opinion if you want to see the sights the city of Bandung. Unfortunately it's been a lot of tall buildings around it, so the scenery is not as interesting as first presented. 

See Parisj van Java from the heights not only provide the charm of beauty, but also the scene of a crowded city. When seen at night, Bandung Basin is now increasingly filled with lights glare of the inhabitants. Maybe Juliaen Da Silva, the first stranger who wandered into the area in Bandung in 1640-an era of ever writing about the atmosphere Bandong (Bandung - red) never thought about the area he had seen only consists of 25 to 30 houses have been turned into a city solid.
